About This Item
An American officer's first-hand observations of German military life and service during the Franco-Prussian war and a comparison of the military and educational systems of France and Germany. Tightly bound and in very good condition (no bumped corners, splits, underlinings or marginal comments). It carries both the names of New York and London publishers and is dated 1873 although a previous owner's ink inscription dates its purchase as in 1872. This first European (London) edition was issued in January 1873 but apparently was available in bookshops in December 1872.
Original owner, Louis Tronchin, was a Colonel in the Swiss Federal Army.
408 pages including a 25-page annex: "Organization and administration of the German Army".
Lower spine is gilt-letter stamped: "Trübner & Co."
